Posting Across Controlling Areas

Hi,
We have 3 Controlling Areas for 3 geographical regions. US, EU and APAC. However, now we want to move the valuated stock items from one plant in the US region to another plant in EU region. Obviously we do have some cost associated with these materails and also, some transportation costs as well. Do we know how we can get this sorted out in SAP please. SAP OSS note clearly says that the cross-controlling area posting in SAP is not supported.
Any inputs please, always appreciated.
Thank you,
Subash Krishna

Hi,
I am not sure what you meant by that. I have 4 controlling areas linked to the same operating concern. The movement of valuated materials with their transport charges is between regions (Each region has separate controlling area). Somewhere on one OSS note we read that SAP does not support cross-controlling area posting as it is against the normal design of the SAP system. Are you saying that the derivation in CO-PA would help to get over this limitation?
Please could you throw some more light on this issue?
Thank you,
Subash Krishna

Posting in Controlling Area Currency

Hi
We have the following Scenario
Actual Balance in WBS Elements X is 15000.00 AUD (Object Currency) and 12000.00 USD(Controlling Area Currency)
We have transffered the balance from X WBS Element to Y WBS Element by netting of the Object Currency to Zero.
Resulting that the revised balance as below :
Object Currency = 0.00 AUD
Controlling Area Currency = 1000.00 USD.
We like to net of the Controlling Area Currency also in WBS Element X.
Is there any way of posting the same in Controlling Area Currency Alone.
We want the solution urgently.
Thanks and Regards

Posting across GAAPs error in GR

Dear Gurus:
Trying to make a goods receipt (MIGO 101) I got the error: "Posting across GAAPs are not permitted". which would be the causes?
Thank you!!!

Hi,
NOOOOO.
Why would you recommend configuring a stochastic block?
What has that got to do with anything?
A stochastic block will block random invoices above a certain threshhold. Why would you recommend someone setting up a function that is purely and completely optional. How can you think that setting this would have anything to do with posting a goods receipt.
Please just ensure that the company code and plant involved have been set up correctly. This will solve the problem.
You could try the "copy, create and check" function for the company code and plant to run a check to see if there are missing config entries.

RAJ

Hi,
Go to maintain controlling area. Double click it then in assignment control maintain " cross - company-code cost accounting. Then try to give controlling area currency as 20.
Now you try to post the document in USD. If it does not happen...no other clue...
That is why at the time of original implementation among many things Currency type & currency also to be discussed and frozen out.

2 Controlling areas - Intercompany postings

Hello Experts,
Our client is looking at the possibility of having more than One Controlling area and Chart of Accounts. Say for instance, the Production Plants are in different Controlling area and using different COA, whereas the Sales companies located in different countries having a Separate Controlling area and Chart of accounts.
I do certainly understand that the system will be very very complex. However, we would like to know if there would be any issues while doing Intercompany transactions like delivering from Production plants to Sales companies / Delivery directly to the customers located in sales company's country.
I came across some write ups saying Cross controlling area costing is not possible.. But would that restrict the Intercompany billing as well?
I do not understand this clearly. Can anyone please explain the Pros and Cons of following the above Org structure.
Thanks
Prasad

Hi
I dont have any doc as such.. But, it will be the usual inter co billing scenario which I am sure, your SD guy would be aware of.. there is no spl process for your case..
In Inter co scenario, you have 2 choices
1. To follow the sale-purchase route
2. To use an inter company STO
in (1), you create SO in seling company and PO in purchasing company... Using IDOCS it can be automated... I am not detailing it here
(1) is used when the Material No is not same in both the companies.... Another drawback of this is that you cannot see Stock in Transit when your goods have been despatched from A but have not reached B
(2) is used when Mat No is same in both the companies... Adv is that you get to see stock in transit till the time B posts Goods receipt in his system
The no of transactions are also less in this case
I personally prefer (2)... Your SD/MM guys wud be aware of both.. I guess you should not worry on that front

My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management

I have recently purchased a Mac computer (updated to Maverick) to go with my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 printer which has given excellent service with my old Windows computer. However, when trying to print pictures or photos via Photoshop Elements 11, the best results I can get are using the Colour Management and Epson Colour controls in the printing options box.
My problem is that after printing the first photo or picture, when I come to print a second, both the Colour Management and Epson Colour Controls are greyed out and showing No Colour Management, The only way I can reset the controls is to shut down the printer and computer and restart.
Could there may be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust please? I have been in touch with Epson and they say that the Epson Colour controls are part of the Photoshop Elements software but a post on the Adobe forum brought no results and I am unable to contact Adobe.
<Edited by Host>

Hello Garry. Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have used a different title from "How do I post a question?" That should come after trying to resolved the colour settings first. However, to answer your question, after experimenting with all the different settings in Photoshop Elements and Epson software, I now start with PSE11 Colour settings then click "no colour management" then after clicking Print, I choose "More Options/Colour Management/Colour Handling/Printer Manages Colour" then I choose "Page Setup/Layout/Colour Matching" which then shows Epson Colour Controls but I also choose "Layout/Colour Management" which then shows "Colour Controls/Mode" I then of course choose an Epson printer profile depending on the paper I am using. I get good results but as I said, the Colour Matching and Colour Controls are then greyed out. Hope that makes sense.

Payment History upload in Credit control area

HI
I am working on implementation project and my client requires to upload the Payment History in the credit control area. We are only updating the A/R opening balance from the legacy system and no transactions data are uploaded. Please advise how to upload the payment history from the legacy system.
Regards
Murali

Hi Ravi
Thanks for the info.
The payment history is not an input field in FD32 and it is updated through an internal program based on FI payment posting in A/R. My question was to find out whether there is any standard transaction to upload the payment history

COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

Hello All,
There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
Use
Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

MSS BW error: My Controlling Area (SAP Exit, CO Pers.) (*)

Hello,
We're starting to set up MSS My Budget. When I try to run a BW cost center report from within My Budget, I get an error indicating that the application can't determine a value for "My Controlling Area". Please advise how I can fix this. Authorization? User Exit?
Thanks in advance.

Dennis

Hello,
This problem has occurred AGAIN! I am at a loss of how to resolve.
E.g.
Hours posted = 168 (@ 50 Eur/hr)
Eur = 8,517.60
GBP = 75,396.72
The object currency is Eur however the controlling area currency is GBP. When converting back to GBP it is completely incorrect. Any help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks,

User exit for merging the credit limit in different credit control area.

Dear All,
Please provide user exit for the merging the credit limit in different credit control area as well as logic for the same.
I have to merge the overall credit limit of the customer for some divisions. At this time in one company code we have created 9 credit control area as per product line. While creating customer master data and Credit management (FD32) user has assigned the different limit with respective to credit control area e. g Customeru2019s total limit assigned is 10 laks. For credit control 1100 Limit is Rs. 3 laks and for credit control area 2200 limit is 7 laks. Now the user wants to merge the credit limit for only above two credit control area. The sales orders should get created in any credit control area up to 10 laks.
Regards,
Suresh

Dear Damodhar/All,
Would you please explain me prerequisite setting from functional side for these user exit?
I want complete functional setting prior to ABAP application so that it work properly post configuration.

Suresh

CSKA & CSKB Tables -Cost Element+ Controlling Area, Cost Element Category

I have few questions on Chart Of Accounts and Controlling Areas and CSKA(Cost elements (data dependent on chart of accounts)) and CSKB (Cost elements (data dependent on controlling area)) Tables--
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts.
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.

Hi,
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts. Never
One controlling area can be assigned to many company codes, but all must have been assigned to the same chart of accounts only. This is the pre requisite for the so called cross company controlling
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
If some data exists in CSKA table, it mean that, it must have been created as a CE in any of the controlling area
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
In CSKB, you wont get the correspondant COA for the given controlling area. If you want to know it pass field value CSKB-KOKRS to table field TKA01-KTOPL to get the assigned COA
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
You cannot create a secondary cost elemant using a key matching with an GL code in cross company controlling. In case of both company codes assigned to different controlling areas this can be possible
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.
Only In case of CO module is not active for the a company code
Note: If you have more queries, post it separately rather than asking all in one thread. and be specific with your requirement with the actual scenario.
Thanks,
Srinu
